6 reasons why your company should move to the cloud

The cloud isn’t just a technology fad — companies are moving entire networks into the cloud, and it is now becoming a mainstreamed corporate computing model.

I’m not into fads. I know that skinny jeans for men have a limited shelf life, and the big kale craze will eventually subside. Likewise, my company, Optimal Networks, is not into tech fads. We do, however, respect Gartner Inc., the technology advisory company, for its successful past predictions and comprehensive research.

So when Gartner broke out two separate cloud-computing trends in its 2014 report, we sat up straight and took notice.

The cloud is no longer tech talk — it’s a business term. When your organization is in need of a company-wide operating system upgrade such as Windows XP, a major hardware upgrade, or a comprehensive remote access or business continuity plan, you should consider the cloud options. This is a prime time to explore changes that could create more effective business for your company.
